Yes and yes. My big bruiser kitty takes down garter snakes and munches then up with abandon. A cat a friend had when I was a kid attacked and injured his small boa constrictor.
Cats often love snakes. They are like string they can eat. Cats that turn their noses up at mice will sometimes go crazy for even a toy rubber snake.
One good thing (thank natural selection) is that cats are less likely to die from a snake bite from a venomous snake than dogs are. There are a couple of places in Europe I can think if that have cats expressly for the purpose on controlling snakes. Cats tend to kill big snakes fast- by going right for the neck behind the head and biting right through. Snakes like garter snakes they tend to play with. Not only are they bit less often, they are more resistant to venom than canines, even bigger canines.
That's not to say it is safe to let Fluffy out if rattlers are around- she may end up dead because even though she's more resistant than Fido, she's not IMMUNE.

Do Cats Eat Snakes

Where there are cats there are no snakes, and that is maybe why cats were so important in some countries Cats and snakes do not like each other. The snakes can smell cats, and they go away, because cats eat snakes.

The smallest snake that can eat a cat is usually between 7 and 8 feet. I doubt your snake eats mice... He'd at least be eating massive rats or rabbits. We used to feed my friends 18 foot burmese python baby goats and pigs. Furry animals = snake food. The only snakes I know that you can have that are that big are either red tail boas, burmese pythons, or yellow anacondas. What the hell do you have? If your snake has already swallowed your cat, that cat is already dead. That is because he was constricted before being consumed, which means he has suffocated and was dead or passed out before being swallowed. In conclusion to this, all of his bones were crushed in the process causing sever internal bleeding. If he is still moving, then that is because he is having muscle spasms which occur when lack of oxygen goes to the muscles. If this is a joke, then haha funny... But if this isn't... you're dumb for putting your cat in a snake cage.

Well I really don't thing a cat can eat a snake, never seen that really happen. But I guess it can depend, if I't a dead snake, maybe, It would probably eat it. But if it is alive, I don't think so...
Once I saw on TV, that this boa ate a cat, a fat cat indeed.

Back in the days when I let my cat outside to play she drug home a 3' long snake. The snake didn't look too happy about it and I wasn't so thrilled either. I don't know if she would have eaten it or not. I'm guessing she would have and then thrown it up on the bed.
She stays inside now.

I never saw my cat eat the snake but it played with it for awhile. It drug it around and nibbled every now and then but no major eating. I guess cats can eat anything they want to though,
